| Kursens syfte | To provide the course participants with the up-to-date knowledge on lipid mediator-driven inflammation, importance of lipid mediators in the development of cardiovascular diseases, as well as new therapeutic approaches for the resolution of cardiovascular inflammation. |
| Kursens lärandemål | Through the course work, the participants should expand their knowledge in eicosanoid inflammatory mediators in cardiovascular diseases. At the end of the course, the participants should show: 1. good understanding of eicosanoid metabolism 2. good understanding of the pathophysiological importance eicosanoid inflammatory mediators in atherosclerotic diseases 3. a clear view of the possibilities and challenges of eicosanoid metabolism-targeted therapeutics in atherosclerotic diseases. 4. an ability to apply current knowledge of eicosanoid metabolism into research design. |
| Kursens innehåll | The course module will cover biology of eicosanoids and omega-3 fatty acids, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of eicosanoid metabolism, and molecular biology of the eicosanoid receptors. Translational medicine in the resolution of cardiovascular inflammation will be emphasised. |
| Arbetsformer | Lectures and seminars. Debates about clinical issues. |
| Obligatoriska moment | The participants must attend all lectures/seminars. The students who have missed one session will get an alternative assignment from the module organizers (if absence can be justified). |
| Examination | Written exam. |
| Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel | Handout from each lecture will be provided: The biology of omega-3 fatty acids Cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways Eicosanoid receptors The resolution of cardiovascular inflammation |
